Abstract:
What
does a liberatory, socially aware, historicised and humble
teaching/learning of natural science look like? What is at stake in
questions of diversity in the natural sciences? How does an ecological
view of knowledge and communities compel us to live and act in a
disciplined academy?

In this presentation, I reflect on my
journey in the past two and a half years as a quantitative, positivist
ecologist encountering the realms of the critical humanities - a journey
of interdisciplinary coursework and friendships initiated by ICGC and
moving into 8 classes and innumerable discussions with friends and
mentors in Feminist Studies, Geography and Indigenous Studies. Working
from the space of ecological sciences, I will share a few stories of
ongoing collaborations that move towards answering the above questions.

I'll
highlight the Nutrient Network: a global (grassroots) research
cooperative doing cutting edge work in a collaborative manner. Paying
attention to circulations of theory between ecology and economics, I
propose a project to theorize diverse economies in natural systems.
Appalled by the silence of scientific workspaces to social churning, I
will describe community building efforts in my department that have
worked to interrogate the gaps between personal and professional.
Audience participation will be encouraged!Bio:
Siddharth
Iyengar is a 3rd year PhD student in Ecology, Evolution and Behavior,
and an ICGC Scholar. He is curious about the world we live in, how our
natural and social systems and histories intertwine, intersect and grow
together. His PhD research explores how nutrient pollution and drought
affect the stability of grassland plant communities. Apart from work at
the University, he deeply enjoys drumming (tabla) and building community
with people.
